Wes's recommendations: TV on Netflix edition!
First is the all new Netflix original series, "House of Cards." It's
good, better than most TV, I suspect. The entire first season is on
Netflix Instant. Kevin Spacey and his little asides are awesome,
Robin Wright as Kevin Spacey's wife is awesome, and Corey Stoll is even
awesomer (the best part of the season, really). The style of the show
looks like a David Fincher movie (see Social Network or Zodiac). Other
than a few episodes, chiefly 4-6, the season is extremely consistent.
It's a fun story, and it doesn't become too contrived. The women are
very good in the show, but they aren't given very interesting stories.
Like I said, Robin Wright is very good, but every time the show turned
to her story, I couldn't have cared less. Other than that my biggest
complaint is that Kevin Spacey seems invincible. Well, and I suppose I
don't think the show has much "staying power" or rewatchability value,
but I am definitely looking forward to season 2!
If it is
staying power and a massive rewatchability value, then I recommend my
favorite comedy TV show of all-time, "Arrested Development." It is also
on Netflix Instant. I know a lot of you have probably already seen it,
but I am also sure a lot of you find yourself rewatching episode after
episode. And for those of you you haven't seen it, watch it now and get
caught up with the rest of us because season 4 is coming soon only on
Netflix Instant!
